I second that: <br>some years back I had an accident at work where molten brass flying at high speed hit me on the right side of my chest,leaving a nice hole where you could put a thumb inside,all covered/surrounded with necrotic tissue- not a nice view. <br><br>The good lads at the plastic surgery dept washed the place with a solution of plain tap water and some chloride tables dissolved in it.<br><br>The treatment was nothing more exotic than keeping the bandages wet, with some stuffed deep into the hole, to let the new tissue grow from inside out.<br><br>Took about one month to heal completely.<br><br>(the worst part was when I was just hit and the whole body gets into a "shock mode")<br><br>BRRRRRR... take care
